Show I Nephi Notes. ! Nephi, June 2Pth. Edit: s UtrM Business iu NepHi sceoia to be better bet-ter than in some other towns. There is a good deal of travel and traffic from Frisco, Silver Rf and Fioche, and much of tbe supplies for those places are obtained here. As an : evidence uf this the coop, store, superintended by C. Foote, h.i mod-led mod-led and turned over during tbe year ending June loth, about $o4.,000 worth of gooia, aud this has been done by three persons. They declared de-clared a dividend of 20 psr cent, for the year and reflected the flame officers, and are now doing a big 1 business. They sell goois as cheap i as they can be got in Bali Lke. I The new ccOp flouring mill is doing a iiood business, and turning out s first class article of fljur, the Gnist I ; have seen in this country. It seems , that a good deal of the flour used at ! the campa is supplied from California but they think here, with the brand ol flour they are now making, ihey will be able to get the trade. Q'tite a tragic afUir look place on thb 17th at thn Sevier bridge, about twenty milt-a south of Nephi, It seems tlmt Francis Cildwell, from Scipio and a half breed named Parshinoly Pur bio, met iu a saloon aud did some shooting. Caldwell Cald-well scoaaed Purblo of trying to take his girl away from him; this Purblo denied, but Caldwall said he was determined to kill him any way, and raised hia rifle and b'azed away. Three shots were exchanged. All of Purblo's shots took effect, one in the wrist, anuther in the bip, and the 'third in the back, as C. attempted to 'retreat alter firing his last shot. Caldwell died the same nipht. Purblo Pur-blo underwent an examination on the ISth before Justice Borrowman of Nephi. The testimony of all the witnesses went to ahow that it was purely in self defence that he sli-.t. and that he stood a great Jea! ot provocation and threatening. He w.is consequently discharged. The visit of the railroad men was quite an event, Mr. Hawkins, leader, got out the Nephi brass band and serenaded them, and made tbe town lively with their sweet strains of music. Miss Eliza R. Snow and Mrs. Zina Young, who are traveling in the interest in-terest of the Ladies' Relief societies, were at PoaBaot Grove on Tuesday, Mona on Wednesday, and have a meeting here on Thursday. The prospects here, aa iu Utah valley, val-ley, are for large crops. D. |
